Almost never. You need to have a masculine facial structure beforehand to pull it off. Thinking Zidane, Jason Statham, etc. The "just shave it and grow a beard bro" is the biggest cope ever, if you're a young single male focused on yourself, shaving it and decreasing your looks is only shooting...

Trooned out. The real question is how he got back the dead follicles, I find it hard to believe just hormones regained that bowl head.

Finasteride is a hormone related drug after all. The endocrinal system is complex and we've all got a different one, I'm no endocrinologist to tell you the specifics, but increased libido the first weeks is a common side effect, my guess is that your system is adapting to the reduced DHT. I...

It worked for me. Hairline even. Needling and minoxidil, a lot of baby hair, some have materialized into full hair.

Cool. Which part do you disagree with? I think that it could be both ways in regards to massage. Squeezing pulls the skin in, making it tighter around, relieving pressure from the center, expanding it does the opposite but around the outside zone. Ultimately we sadly have no real data, but I...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306987717310411 The galea is merely one of the symptoms. I'm not interested in it. We are looking into the roots of the issue, a skull growth and DHT induced tension in the surrounding muscle. If you don't think it makes sense, you don't want...

Then you're spot on. One thing i've noticed is the tension in my scalp decresases just after i take a shower, similarly, prior to taking finasteride, massaging the muscles in my scalp (sides and back, specially sides) felt very relaxing, they were very thight and they felt 'puffed out' compared to now...

What is a 'harsh galea'? Another magic-follicle cultist with no brain. Ask any dermatologist specialized in hair loss treatment, do a quick google even. All hair transplants into 'lost' zones need Propecia or else you start losing again.

You're on to something. I too did 'hard' scalp massages for a couple of months and felt the same thing. At first literally calcified, but as the massages went on i noticed the skin started 'loosening'. Not only this, but i also realized my scalp was always 'softer' after taking a shower. There's...

One of my biggest concerns of "Pens" is that there's pretty much no studies done compared to dermarollers, on the lowest reps we're talking 200+ RPM. Rolling across your skin until redness is not the same when you think about it, since the pens do even at the lowest RPM, 200 thrusts per second...

You do no good to people who believe in the scalp tension theory calling everything galea. You just give the magic follicle cult more reasons to talk sh*t. The galea is just a thin layer of tissue on top of the skull, not even as thick as the skin. There's no way it plays any role in the shape...

Zinc and Vitamin D are vital. If you're deficient that alone can lead you to hair loss (temporary). Asides from that I'd say just have a good diet and avoid sh*t like seed oils and other garbage. Anything that causes extra inflammation is bad.

When did I mention treatments? You just don't come off as a very smart guy. You contributed nothing to this thread but "my dermatologist said", yeah buddy, it might be hard to swallow for a 'special' guy like you, but you're in a bald heads forum. Everyone knows what the derms say, everyone...

For how much time? Last time I checked they fall back again and you need to supplement with finasteride anyways.

What is ketoconazole gonna Doo? If his hairline is receding, in what world does that have anything to do with a fungal infection?
